Destinypedia:Sandbox: Difference between revisions

'''Annihilator Totems''' are [[Hive]] constructs found in [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota's]] [[Oversoul Throne|netherworld]], the [[Basilica]] and the [[Chamber of Suffering]] that appear to act as security measures.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Crota's End]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall]]''</ref> However the Totem itself would find use in the hands of Oryx's Sisters, where in the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn's]] [[Lucent Brood]] they would use them as Ritual Conduits, and in [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] they would see use to be instruments of War and sound [[Xivu Arath, God of War|her]] Overwhelming Battlesong.

They were created by the Deathsinger twins [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]] and [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] to battle the [[Vex]] when they invaded [[Oryx]]'s [[Ascendant Realm]], the [[High War]], after [[Crota]] accidentally cut a hole through space and time.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref> Even after the death of Crota, Oryx and the Daughters who made the totem, it would find use in the [[Lucent Brood|hands]] [[Hidden Swarm|of]] [[Xivu Arath's Horde|other broods]] as powerful tools for their schemes whether it be as Instruments of War under [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], or as Ritual Conduits in the hands of the [[Hidden Swarm|Hive of the Moon]] or [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn's]] [[Lucent Brood|light empowered brood]]

The Totems would appear in [[A Mysterious Disturbance]] and [[PsiOps Battleground: Moon]] as '''Ritual Totems''' glowing with light based on the brood, ([[Hidden Swarm|normal color]] and [[Lucent Brood|Light Blue]] respectively) but without the killing effect.

The Totems appear again in [[The Descent]] but as '''War Totems''' that maintain the Overwhelming Battlesong when they are active instead of killing the [[Guardian]].
